No full textCharles N. ElliotArchitect325 Failing Building,Portland, Oregon,Dear Mr. Muir:I am at a loss how to adequately express my appreciation of your gift of Stickeen , which has just reached me.I would that I might in some more tangible way than words, show you how deeply your delicate kindness affects me. I have always loved your story of the little dog companion of your dangerous Alaskan adventure, and the book containing it — a gift from its writer will ever be one of my most prized possessions. As 1 have said, I wish it were possible to show my appreciation in some other way than a mere letter — but I cannot in any way give you the pleasure your act has given me, so much remain in your debt, not alone for this gift but for your good letter, your inscription in My First Summer in the Sierra and the perennial pleasure and help your writings bring to me. You see I am hopelessly in your debt.Regarding Stickeen —not alone to you is his little dog-soul immortal, but your touching tale has made him a member of that immortal animal company to which belongs Rab and His Friends , Black Beauty and others whose soul-workings have been revealed to us by sympathetic human eyes and pens.I had intended writing you for one more favor -- which I now hesitate to ask — in view of your generosity, but feel impelled ro risk troubling you, though I hope to be forgiven. I noted in a New York paper that you-had written an appreciation of Mr. E. H« Harriman, published by Doubleday, Page & Co. for distribution to public libraries only not obtainable by purchase at the bookstore or elsewhere. I had our Library obtain a copy for their shelves and have it before me as I write, but I would like a copy of my very own, not only because of its author, but also because of its subject. Mr. Harriman always seemed to me one of America\u27s real noblemen. If I could buy the book I would not ask what I do -- but, under the circumstances, may I hope that you will write the publishers to send me a copy? If there is any reason why this is not to your liking, forgive me and disregard my request.I enclose a copy of my daughter\u27s Class Poem which is an exact expression of the sweet child herself.The thoughts are all her own, and while the composition lacks artistic finish, it is interesting as the expression of a sweet, beautiful and unspoiled nature.Again thanking you and with affectionate regards,Ever faithfully yours,Charles M.

Letter from Charles N. Elliot to John Muir, 1913 Jan 15.
No full textJanuary 15,1913.Dear Mr. Muir:-The copy of your little BIG book E.H.Harriman arrived last week. I had not expected you to send me one yourself,but hoped merely that you would write the publishers to consider me a librarian,to the end that I might obtain a copy.Needless,however,for me to say how much more I prize this book which has been handled by its author and which contains the inscription in his handwriting. I truly thank you.I trust that you will receive the little calendar which I had my daughter,Romaine,paint and make up for you. It is nothing - but let it be, as it is,a small but visible token of the love and admiration in which you are held in our household.With sincere regards,believe me,everhttps://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/42742/thumbnail.jp

RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open-archiving
No full textThis is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
